Show-and-tell

Julien has show-and-tell every Thursday. When he showed his cleats for the first show-and-tell he was wearing a Brazil soccer shirt that we had made. Who would have guessed that another kid in the class, Jun (who is from Brazil it turns out) would come with an actual Brazil soccer jersey! They are now best of friends and tell Brazil jokes together at lunch including the following example "How do you get to America from Brazil without a car? You take an airplane!" Much laughter from Julien. He said Jun brought his brother's soccer shoes with him to show and tell today.
Julien brought an NASA astronaut shirt that we made for his halloween costume (he wants to be an astronaut this year). Apparently it went over well because he said the kids exclaimed, "that's so cool" and one of his friends asked him how he made it. Julien said that he drew him a diagram of the steps it took to make the shirt (I assume including the ironing) and gave it to him to take home.
